Pytellc Valued Member 469 Posts	Posted 03/04/2015 1:03 pm Another Mercury dime for grading, what do you think? Also, does the discoloration on the reverse lower the grade? Couple marks on the neck and chin: And above and below "E PLURIBUS UNUM": Edited by Pytellc 03/04/2015 2:03 pm Report this Post to the Staff

CaptainFwiffo Pillar of the Community United States 4132 Posts	Posted 03/04/2015 2:24 pm MS63FB; seems like quite a few fine scattered marks. Might be very lightly circulated. Report this Post to the Staff
edweather Pillar of the Community United States 7375 Posts	Posted 03/04/2015 3:02 pm Mercs seem to grade high. MS64FB, and 65 wouldn't surprise me. Report this Post to the Staff

Pytellc Valued Member 469 Posts	Posted 03/04/2015 3:13 pm Thank you, these are actually the photos that the dealer provided me with when I purchased them. I am allowed to use them as I please, so sayeth the seller. Personally, I can only dream of getting photo quality that good. Edited by Pytellc 03/04/2015 3:15 pm Report this Post to the Staff
bpoc1 Rest in Peace United States 4078 Posts	Posted 03/04/2015 3:30 pm Ok, let us know if the dime is the same as the pictures. Looks like a great seller with honest pictures. IMO Report this Post to the Staff
eagle_eye_18 Valued Member United States 449 Posts	Posted 03/04/2015 5:00 pm Do I spot doubling on the face profile? I'm looking at the lip chin and forehead. It could be MD? Report this Post to the Staff
zxcccxz Pillar of the Community Canada 5417 Posts	Posted 03/04/2015 6:28 pm I think it makes MS-64FB and certainly the discoloration will play a role in grading in part as eye-appeal. Report this Post to the Staff
Celticsoul Pillar of the Community United States 1566 Posts	Posted 03/04/2015 7:03 pm FSB iffy. The top bands look close, maybe it's just the photo. MS-63 details but why no luster? Just playing devil's advocate. Report this Post to the Staff
panzaldi Bedrock of the Community United States 18687 Posts	Posted 03/04/2015 8:52 pm I agree with celticsoul. Not sure about FB but its really close and could go either way. MS64 Report this Post to the Staff

SsuperDdave Moderator United States 23522 Posts	Posted 03/04/2015 11:05 pm I need to see this one on my bigger monitor. It has the exact look of a good dSLR with a dedicated lens and a little bit of light diffusion to bring out details. I have a few Mercs imaged with just this effect. Without the diffusion the luster won't be blinding, just struck from a die well into its' life. Report this Post to the Staff
